Companion Comment thread-Poet Laureate Challenge or the limmerick thread

[ForresterModern]

Well, I am enthused to see that we are off to a great start on the Poet Laureate Challenge. Ali started us out on a nice limerick, unfortunately NOT in iambic pentameter, but cute all the same. Barry, Rex, and Panache have all jumped into the fray with wonderful contributions. Here is hoping for a long running, interesting and entertaining poem.

Remember to post your non-poetic contributions and comments here rather than in the actual challenge thread, as that is reserved for those with the poetic stones to step up to the challenge.

Long live the XMTS Poet Laureate Challenge Poem!!

FM,

In the interests of keeping your poetry thread as you wished I have moved Ali's limmerick to this thread.

Cheers

Not to worry Ali, it's not that easy to write a good limerick, but I did like yours.

It may not follow the rules,
As entertainment , it compares to beautiful jewels.

Yeah, I know, it's a good thing my career (and team mates) didn't depend on my sense poetry.

My, my, my. Look what I started. It seems we may have several challengers for the title, with Macclef and Big Mikey jumping into the fray with their own entertaining verse. This is getting fun.

Looks like we may have need of a limerick thread as well.

An eager young Mum name of Ali
To post in the thread didn't dally.
In her haste and her speed
the rules didn't read.
She's really a bit of a scally.

scally: abbr. for scallywag - one who is playfully mischievous

I love it, thanks Barry
